Profile:
A gentleman cricketer, Jayasingh Ghorpade was sent as a replacement
for the tour of West Indies in 1953 and made his debut in the third
Test at Port of Spain. Going in at No 9, he scored a valuable 35. In
the final Test he scored a timely 24, again at No 9 as India were in
some danger of losing the game. But he could never really establish
himself in the Indian side of the fifties, despite his all round
capabilities. An attacking right hand batsman and a leg break bowler
who played in spectacles, Ghorpade was more out of than in the team,
just playing the occasional Test against New Zealand at Calcutta in
1955-56 (when he top scored with 39 in a total of 132), against
Australia at Bombay in 1956-57 and West Indies two years later at
Calcutta. He got more opportunities however on the tour of England in
1959. In first class games, he scored 833 runs (23.80) and in three
Tests, he scored 100 runs with his Test highest score of 41 (top
score) in India's total of 168 in the second Test at Lord's.
Ghorpade was discarded after that but continued to play for Baroda
till the mid sixties. His career highest was 123 against Rajasthan in
1957-58 and his best bowling in an innings was six for 19 for Indian
Universities against Pakistan in 1952-53. In a first class career
lasting from 1948 to 1965, Ghorpade scored 2631 runs (25.54) with two
centuries and took 114 wickets (30.91). At the time of his sudden
death following a heart attack, he was a national selector.
